Dreamfall Chapters Will Be A Series Of Episodic Releases

Briefly: The long-awaited sequel to The Longest Journey isn't going to be one big game anymore. Dreamfall Chapters will now be coming out as a series of episodic releases -- with the first one hitting late 2014 -- according to an update on the crowdfunded game's Kickstarter page.

So I played Dreamfall a bit years ago and really enjoyed it. I never beat it. I noticed it's on Steam now. Question is, how well has it held up to the test of time? I'm considering getting it and playing through in anticipation of this but I don't want to be disappointed by antiquated game design.. thoughts?
